"ONLY LOVE PREVAILS" ...."I've loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more....."


As we are in the winter of our lives, I dedicate this to Andrew, Dr. John J.C. Jr. and Gary W., MD, (who has gone on before us). My love and admiration is unfathomable for each of you..........and what you have brought into this world.....so profoundly to me.
The metaphors are rich and provocative; we're in them now. This world is indeed disappearing, and the richest eternal world awaits us!
The intensity, as was in each of the three of us, is in yellow!
In my heart forever.........

Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

We're threading hope like fire

Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by y
our side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This
disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


TECHNOLOGY..........

In “Conversations with God”, by Neale Donald Walsch, there is a warning I think of. I refer to it as the Atlantis passage, and I've quoted it a few times before." As I have said, this isn't the first time your civilization has been at this brink,"

God tells Walsch. "I want to repeat this, because it is vital that you hear this. Once before on your planet, the technology you developed was far greater than your ability to use it responsibly. You are approaching the same point in human history again. It is vitally important that you understand this. Your present technology is threatening to outstrip your ability to use it wisely. Your society is on the verge of becoming a product of your technology rather than your technology being a product of your society. When a society becomes a product of its own technology, it destroys itself."

James Blunt served in Kosovo, 1999. Through this song, he shares the excruciating pain and sadness he felt, especially for the children there. It is deeply moving.........its memory is clearly on James' face as he sings this....and remembers.

Thank you, James, for your service.......and for bringing your TRUTH to us......

Ed Sheeran - Dive [Official Audio]



Ed Sheeran – Dive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I came on too strong,
Maybe I waited too long,
Maybe I played my cards wrong,
Oh just a little bit wrong,
Baby, I apologize for it.

[Pre-Chorus]
I could fall or I could fly,
Here in your aeroplane.
I could live, I could die
Hanging on the words you say.
I've been known to give my all,
And jumping in harder than
10,000 rocks on the lake.

[Chorus]
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it.
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it,
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you.

[Verse 2]
You're a mystery.
I have travelled the world,
And there's no other girl like you, no one.
What's your history?
Do you have a tendency to lead some people on?
'Cause I heard you do.

[Pre-Chorus]
I could fall or I could fly,
Here in your aeroplane.
I could live, I could die,
Hanging on the words you say.
I've been known to give my all,
And lie awake, every day.
Don't know how much I can take.

[Chorus]
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it.
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it,
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you.

[Bridge]
I could fall or I could fly,
Here in your aeroplane.
I could live, I could die,
Hanging on the words you say.
I've been known to give my all
Sitting back, looking at
Every mess that I made.

[Chorus]
So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it.
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it,
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you,
Before I dive right into you,
Before I dive right into you.

Ed Sheeran / James Blunt "Sacrifice" (Elton John) (2017)




Absolute vocal perfection from these two superstars! It is mezmorizing to watch their sensitive tenderness about the music they make.
(Song written by Elton John)

Sacrifice
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better, baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice

(Note! Ed Sheeran and Adele are now rated  the top singers in the world. Amazing!)

Ed Sheeran - Perfect (Official Music Video)





Ed Sheeran and his hard-working path to success......

Ed Sheeran may be the quintessential pop star of the 2010s: a singer/songwriter who seems to acknowledge no boundaries between styles or eras, creating a sound that's idiosyncratic and personal. Sheeran borrows from any style that crosses his path -- elements of folk, hip-hop, pop, dance, soul, and rock can be heard in his big hits "The A Team," "Sing," "Thinking Out Loud," and "Shape of You" -- which gives him a broad appeal among different demographics, helping to elevate him to international stardom not long after the release of his 2011 debut, +. 

When Ed Sheeran released +, he just had turned 20. He had been playing music since he was a child in Framlingham, Suffolk -- he was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire but his family moved when he was young -- enthralled by the classic rock he heard around the house. Sheeran started writing music in his early teens, recording a self-made album called Spinning Man when he was 13 in 2004. In addition to making music at home -- he put out an EP titled The Orange Room in 2005 -- he'd busk on the streets and play whatever stage he could find. When he was 16, he dropped out of school and moved to London so he could make a go of a professional career, landing work as a guitar tech for Nizlopi, gigging whenever he could, and auditioning unsuccessfully for the ITV series Britannia High. The self-released EP You Need Me arrived in 2009 -- it followed 2006's eponymous EP and 2007's Want Some? -- but his momentum started to build in 2010 thanks to the EPs Loose Change and Songs I Wrote with Amy and, especially, performance videos he posted to YouTube. Sheeran started to generate considerable buzz -- Jamie Foxx invited him to appear on his Sirius/XM radio show -- and he landed a deal with Asylum Records in late 2010. After a final independent EP, No. 5 Collaborations, arrived in January 2011, he signed a contract with Elton John 's management team. 

All of this laid the groundwork for a busy 2011. Sheeran entered the studio with Jake Gosling to record his major-label debut. Its first single, "The A Team," arrived in June 2011, entering the charts at number three. August brought "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," setting the stage for the September release of +. Assisted by the success of November's single "Lego House," the record became a huge hit in the U.K., a fact underscored by his win of British Breakthrough in the 2012 Brit Awards. Sheeran's success soon spread to Australia, Europe, Canada, and then the United States. He received a boost in the U.S. by opening for Snow Patrol in 2012, but that paled in comparison to the exposure he received opening for Taylor Swift on her Red tour in 2013. His endorsement from Swift , combined with his landing of the closing credits song "I See Fire" for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, set Sheeran up for an eventful 2014. 

Along with reuniting with Jake Gosling, Sheeran worked with Rick Rubin and Pharrell for X, the sophomore set that arrived in June 2014. X debuted at number one on both sides of the Atlantic and generated the huge hits "Thinking Out Loud" and "Sing," success that helped Sheeran secure a win for Album of the Year in the 2015 Brit Awards, along with the trophy for Best Male Solo Artist. His success wasn't limited to Britain. X was the second biggest-selling album in the world in 2015, coming in behind Adele 's 25, and "Thinking Out Loud" took home the Grammys for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance in 2016. 

Sheeran spent the majority of 2016 recuperating and recording his third album with executive producer Benny Blanco. Early in 2017, he released two singles, "Castle on the Hill" and "Shape of You," with the latter reaching number one on the charts throughout the world. Their parent album, ÷, appeared in March. ÷ topped the pop charts in over 20 territories, including the U.K. and U.S., and it generated another international hit in "Galway Girl." Ed Sheeran's massive popularity was confirmed in June 2017, when he was awarded an MBE on the occasion of the Queen's Birthday Honours. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine


"There Are Men Too Gentle To Live Among Wolves"

When I was in the throes of practice, I used to work with men a lot. I had no idea what brought me there but in that present, and with hindsight ...... it was just so right.  During those times, I had read a poetic piece by James Kavanaugh which was geared to men. Since than,  I see that it has been adjusted to include women.

When it was a good time, and I would give a copy to my clients to read, I could see a swallow.  Usually by the end, they would have tears in their eyes. In my humble opinion, Kavanaugh had pierced a certain type of armor ... that armor which girds our essence from Truth.

"I am one of the searchers.  There are, I believe, millions of us.  We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content.  We continue to explore life, hoping to consider its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand.  We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery, and unspeakable beauty.  We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well.  Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter.  To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy we can know - unless it be to share our laughter.

We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide.  Most of all we love and want to be loved.  We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls;  that will take us for what little we have to give.  We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.


For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful.


It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."
